The CW Renews Five Primetime Series

The network revealed Thursday, five of its primetime series have been picked up for new seasons. “Arrow” for a third season; “The Vampire Diaries” for sixth season; “Supernatural” for a tenth season; and new dramas “The Originals” and “Reign” for sophomore seasons.

“This season we’ve had great success with our new hit series “The Originals” paired with “Supernatural,” giving us our best Tuesday nights in years,” said CW president Mark Pedowitz in a statement. “”The Vampire Diaries” is No. 2 in its time period in the young adult demos, and with “Arrow” continuing to gain among young men, and “Reign” growing its time period, we now have strong nights on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I’m very pleased to announce early pickups for all five series, and let our fans know they’ll have more great drama to look forward to next season.”
